The making of the Puppet Opera MEDUSA The young puppeteer Giacomo Cuticchio dedicates a new original show for music and puppets to the mythological figure of Medusa. Medusa, before being the monster that we all know, was a beautiful girl who, raped by the God Poseidon, was cursed by Athena. Victim of violence, Medusa witnesses all that humanity in search of justice, consideration, love. The film follows the genesis of the artistic work, between the scenes of the puppet theatre, the rehearsals with the orchestra up to the suggestive final staging, making us reflect on a very current topic.
